So I saw Michael H. Shamberg backstage at the New Order Roseland Ballroom show here in NYC last fall.
I don't know exactly what his medical issues are...
But he is in a giant wheelchair, he has to breathe through a tube, and he seems to be unable to move any part of this body, including his head.
Medical costs in the USA are ASTRONOMICAL, especially here in New York.
I've never talked to Mr. Shamberg myself, but I know a few people who have known and worked with him for years, and by all accounts he is a really nice fellow, and I am sure New Order were sincere in wanting to help him out.
As for the Spinner interview....
I wasn't there, but it makes sense to me.
That certainly puts a lot in perspective, I just hope the benefit gigs were a help to Mr. Shamberg and I am glad that I was at the first of them.. Edited by user 25 January 2013 14:28:51(UTC)

Coops
Now its all been cleared up, go on, what were you hinting at? That Michael Shamberg (not to be confused with the other Michael Shamberg) didnt really need New Orders money or that New Orders given reasons for reforming and performing were not kosher?[/quote wrote:
At this point, all I can say is that I genuinely believed the two Mr Shambergs were the same person. The news that NO's Mr Shamberg is not in a good way is of course distressing. Apologies if anyone was offended. It's probably best to leave it there.
